Belgian Endive is a slightly bitter vegetable, but delicious to those who acquire the taste. I realize it is rather expensive in the US, but "cheap as chips" here in Belgium !

Equipment
Large heavy pot
Ingredients
- 1 large whole chicken
- 2 lbs Belgian endive
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 lemon, juice of
- flour, for dusting chicken
- salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
Cut chicken into serving pieces.
Salt and pepper pieces, and dust with flour.
Melt butter in a large heavy pot and brown the chicken on all sides.
Cover the pot and allow the chicken to cook for 45 minutes on a slow fire.
Cut the endive fine and place around the chicken.
Removing the inner core of the endive will reduce some of the bitterness.
Allow to cook for an additional 15 minutes.
Check the chicken for doneness (juices should run clear).
Add the cream and bring again to a simmer, briefly.
Add the lemon juice just before serving.
